About the Item

A glazed stoneware Ishizara (food serving platter) from Seto kilns. The platter features an unusual lobed edge and a slight irregular form from hand made. On the plate, a carp and a bamboo branch were highlighted in a green-celadon glaze, with an intentional visual effect of stencil-like, giving it a very folky (Mingei) aethetic. There is a ring of seven spur marks in the center, from the stacking firing in the kiln, and a feldspar left on the surface. This type of platters was likely made in Seto and Mino kilns with various qualities and were meant for daily use. They tend to have a rustic and robust form and a wabi-sabi appeal that came naturally from the kiln process. This particular ishizara is relatively more refined in its form and decoration compared to the other basic ware. The platter shows evidence of extensive use. There are two crack lines from the edge, one larger and one smaller, both were repaired historically with a dark lacquer substance. There are three small, drilled holes around the edge, the purpose of which we are not certain.

Fine Japanese Ceramic Plate by Kinkozan for Yamanaka & Co.
By Kinkozan
Located in Atlanta, GA
A fine Japanese ceramic satsuma plate made by Kinkozan and retailed by Yamanaka & Co. circa 1900-20s (late Meiji to early Tasho Period). The cream-color glazed plate features a very fine decoration of a maple tree in the midst of foliage color-changing in autumn. The poetic composition is stylized but also realistic, with a literati painter's quality, and was advantageously enhanced by the enamel colorings in incredible details. The maple tree is one of the favored motifs by the fine satsuma potters such as Yabu Meizan as it demonstrates the painter's skill. It is signed on the base in gilt kanji seal (Made by Kinkozan) and branded Yamanaka & Co in English. The plate was likely commissioned by the company from Kinkozan for its various galleries in US and Europe. The Kinkozan family established their pottery business first in 1645 and by the end of 19th century, it had become the largest studio producer of Satsuma ware. By the 1850s, Kinkozan Sobei...
